Preparing for Your First Fibroid Consultation
Congratulations on taking the critical first step toward effective fibroid treatment by scheduling your appointment with USA Fibroid Centers. Our goal is to make your consultation a clear, supportive, and informative experience.
This visit is a two-way conversation to discuss your symptoms, review your history, and explore personalized, non-surgical treatment options, such as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE).
Logistical Essentials
These items help us quickly verify your identity and coverage so we can focus on your health.
- Photo ID: Your current, valid government-issued identification.
- Insurance Card: Please have your most recent insurance information available. Our team specializes in verifying coverage for diagnostic tests and procedures and will assist you with any insurance-related queries before your appointment.
Comprehensive Medical History
To accurately assess your condition and provide the safest recommendations, we need a complete picture of your health journey.
- Current Medication List: A list of all prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and any supplements or herbal remedies you currently take.
- Prior Medical Records: Please gather any relevant records you may have, especially:
- Imaging results (e.g., MRIs or ultrasounds) from the last 12 months.
- Recent lab results or reports from prior fibroid consultations.
- Results from any recent Pap smears or biopsies (within the last three years).
- A summary of previous fibroid treatments or medications you have tried.
Your Discussion Points
This is your time to lead the conversation. We encourage you to reflect on your symptoms and prepare any questions you have for your interventional radiologist.
- Symptom Tracker: Be ready to describe the frequency and severity of your fibroid symptoms (pain, bleeding, cramping) and how they impact your daily life.
- Personal Questions List: Clear communication is essential. Prepare a list of questions about your specific fibroid type and location, available treatment options (especially UFE), potential side effects, and expected recovery times.
